A couple of nights ago he whe entertained to dinner at the Savoy Hotel by the American Society in "London. It WIS a remarkable gathering in many respects, and chiefly because Mr. Ford added to his other achievements that of making one of the shortest specches on record. He occupied the place of honour, ascetic looking, sallow, and with something of the air of a University professor attending student revels; and he sat through out the evening listening with com plete detachment to the speeches made in his praise.

I thark you" Then Ee sat down, and there was complete silence for a time while the guests recovered from their surprise.
Apart from the fact that Mr. Ford made no speech at this gathering held in his honour, it was curious to note that" there were scarcely any Ford stories. Sir Harry Brittain contributed the only one apropos of the Ford car universally known as "Tin Lizzie," It was about Mr. Ford himself helping driver to mend a broken-down car and being offered a dollar and a half, which be refused, saying that he had plenty of money.
Then," said the driver,

The secretary was promised that Meier should be examined by a doctor and placed in hospital."
The date of the trial has not been settled.
Bix Germans among many other persons were arrested on charges of plotting the destruc- tion of coal mines in the Don basin, but three have been releas- ed.
A Popular Ambassador. Baron Matsui, who left London this week for Japan on the comple tion of his term of office as Am- bassador to the Court of St. James, has left pleasant memories behind him. The parties that were given at the Embassy were very popular. The Baroness had a Japanese chef, and on occasion she used to surprise her friends by entertaining them to meals in the Japanese style. It is no secret that they are very lond of this country, and much regret the severance of many warm friend ships.
